Course Description
Prerequisite: None
This course enables students to further explore and develop technological knowledge and skills introduced in the
elementary science and technology program. Students will be given the opportunity to design and create products
and/or provide services related to the various technological areas or industries, working with a variety of tools,
equipment, and software commonly used in industry. Students will develop an awareness of envi- ronmental and
societal issues, and will begin to explore secondary and postsecondary education and training pathways leading to
careers in technology-related fields.

Note: Schools may offer broad-based courses, using the expectations provided here for Exploring Technologies, that focus on a
particular subject area within the technological education curriculum. Brief descriptions for courses in each of the subject areas
are given below, along with the course codes assigned to them. For more information about the delivery of such courses, see
pages 1013.

Equity Statement
All courses within HDSB are taught in learning environments that promote inclusive education, and identify and eliminate
discriminatory biases, systemic barriers, and power dynamics that limit the ability of students to participate, learn, grow,
and succeed. All students see themselves reflected in the curriculum, their physical surroundings, and the broader
environment, so that they are engaged in and empowered by their learning experiences.

Your Report Card Grade will be determined as follows:

Term work: 14% Knowledge & Understanding: Emphasizes the ability to recall factual
70% of your grade will information, recognize fundamental concepts and the foundational skills of the
be based on all of the subject/discipline.
evidence you have 35% Application: Emphasizes the application and integration of knowledge,
provided. It will reflect skills, processes and techniques to produce evidence of the students
your most consistent understanding.
level of achievement
with special 14% Thinking: Emphasizes the thinking skills used in thinking processes to
consideration given to demonstrate the students understanding of information they have processed.
more recent evidence. 7% Communication: Emphasizes the clear, precise and effective use of oral,
written and visual language to communicate the students understanding of
information and ideas.
Final Evaluation: 30% Performance Task
30% of your grade will
be determined at the end N/A Written Exam
of the course.
Your final grade will be calculated by combining your Term (70%) grade and your Exam and Performance
Task Evaluations (30%).

Academic Standards
It is your responsibility to provide evidence of your learning within established timelines. Due dates for
assignments and the scheduling of tests will be communicated well in advance to allow you to schedule your
time. If you arent going to be able to follow an agreed upon timeline you should demonstrate your
responsibility and organizational skills by discussing with your teacher the challenges youre facing as far in
advance of the deadline as possible.
